DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT FOR CUSTOMS?
We require the full amount upfront BEFORE we begin shooting the custom. If for any reason we cannot complete the custom a partial to full refund will be issued depending on the situation.
HOW ARE THE CUSTOMS FILMED? WHAT IS THE QUALITY LIKE?
Videos are recorded and processed in 1080p mp4. I use a variety of cameras ranging from a Canon 5D Mark IV to a DJI Osmo to a Go Pro. All videos will be of the highest quality and will be lit using professional lighting equipment. When applicable gimbals are also used. If you require a different kind of file format for viewing please mention what kind you will be needing in the additional information section of the Custom Request Form.
I'VE ORDERED AND PAID FOR MY CUSTOM. NOW WHAT?
Now comes the hard part. The anticipation of the final product! Sit tight and let me work my magic on your custom. I will provide you with a goal deadline (give or take one to two days) once all details are hammered out. and payment has been received for the custom video. Once the video is complete you will be emailed a Dropbox link. You DO NOT need to have a Dropbox account to view the content. Simply open the link (or copy and paste in your web browser) on your phone, tablet or computer and enjoy! From this link you can view your video at any time. You may also choose to download your video if you want to keep it offline on your device.
DO YOUR VIDEOS HAVE WATERMARKS OR CENSORS IN THEM?
Yes, all videos will have a small watermark on them located in one of the corners. This is not negotiable. The watermark will not be obtrusive, in the way nor will it censor anything. Removing the watermark is strictly forbidden. If you order a Custom Video and request topless or nude content it will not be censored in the final video.
CAN I REQUEST A SPECIFIC MODEL?
You absolutely may request a sepcific model. If they are local to Arizona we will reach out to them and ask them to shoot! If they are a traveling model we will consider them for future bookings or you can keep an eye out for our travel notice!
DO YOU NEED ANY MALE JOBBERS? I CAN WORK FOR YOU FOR FREE!
We appreciate your enthusiasm, however we carefully select our male jobbers and bottoms. We like them to have a certain amount of prior experience and training under their belt.
WE DO NOT HIRE OR USE FANS FOR OUR CLIPS
MODEL FAQ
I REALLY WANT THIS MODEL [INSERT MODEL'S NAME] CAN YOU SHOOT THEM!?
We are always happy to reach out to a model to gauge their interest in participating in our videos and Custom Requests. Most traveling models will require their flight to be sponsored. Depending on the urgency of your Custom Request we can fly the model in and add the expense to the total cost of your Custom or wait for their scheduled tour visit to Arizona so we can hire them for your Custom Request.

We accept model requests from both amateur and professional models! Just starting out? As long as you're serious about participating, over the age of 18 and professional we will happily consider you for one of our test photo shoots! You will get to keep copies of your images along with a model release giving you permission to use them as trade for your time at your test shoot!
